How abortion bans like the one in Alabama pose yet another hurdle to lower-income Americans:
The law signed in Alabama banning most abortions has been seen by many opponents as an attack on women's bodies. But experts say there is a certain subset of people who are being further impacted: lower income individuals.
Ferrell-Zabala added that Planned Parenthood has heard how women end up having to"divert money" that may be earmarked for rent, groceries or utility bills towards paying for an abortion. Additionally, Ferrell-Zabala said,"If you're struggling to make ends meet, you might not be able to afford to get an abortion until later in your pregnancy."
If bans like the one passed in Alabama this week, which is facing legal challenges already, go into effect, more women would need to travel further when seeking an abortion. Ferrell-Zabala said she also thinks anti-abortion lawmakers are consciously using the cost as well as bans on abortion after a certain week in a pregnancy as a way to make abortion inaccessible for some individuals: Because it takes time to come up with the money, patients may be pushed past the week limit in their states.
